Notes: I haven't made any open-source contributions for some time, although I intend to rectify this over the next several months.

Perhaps the most important contribution that I've made was having the idea[1] to dual-license Mozilla as a way out of the GPL<->NPL dilemma. My proposal was well received but not implemented at the time (in particular, jwz wasn't convinced), but some of those at Netscape who were convinced were able to act on it after jwz left, which gave us the now-widely-used MPL-1.1 and Mozilla (and later Firefox) able to be linked with code under the Gnu GPL.
